The next part of my adventures takes us to the Sports Legends Museum. Located just a few feet from the Camden Yards, the Sports Legends Museum is a great attraction.
The building itself has a ton of history as well. It used to be a terminal for the B&O railroad before it was the Sports Legends Museum. So the history starts before you even step through the doors.

This 22,000 square foot building has been named one of the best Sports Museums in the country.

Inside, you will find many exhibits and tributes to Maryland’s greatest athletes. The exhibits change throughout the year so you should head back every few months to see any new and exciting exhibits.

Each exhibit focuses on something different that has something to do with the state of Maryland. Exhibits range The Negro Leagues, to the Baltimore Blast soccer team. Here you will find all sorts of neat tidbits and information. You also will be able to see game used equipment, artifacts, plaques, and personal mementos from Maryland’s greatest athletes.

It is a very cheap getaway too, costing you $8 for adults, seniors $6, and $4 for children ages 3-12 and is open everyday of the year except Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Day.

The Examiner posted a great blog about the Sports Legends Museum; you must check it out if you plan on visiting.

This is a great place to take your family or friends if you have some time to kill before an Orioles game. It being located so close to the park (literally 50 feet) you can visit the museum, leave before the national anthem and make it to your seats before first pitch. In some cases, the Orioles offer discounted tickets if you present your ticket from the museum.

The Sports Legends Museum shares the building with another museum, the Babe Ruth Museum. Here they have a whole wing of the building dedicated to one of the most famous ball players in history. Here they have different memorabilia, game used equirpment, and more exhibits about the sultan of swat.

If you find yourself in downtown Baltimore and need to kill some time, The Maryland Sports Legends museum is a great place for you to do that. Stop by and see some of Maryland’s greatest athletes. You can also check out their website here to find out more information.
